Used my councillor to build some monument thing in Jizny Czechy. Raised some warriors (about 250 of them). As luck would have it, Charlemagne embarked on a war on my liege's liege (Grand Chief So-and-So of the Saxons). So I raised my retinue, put my top military dudes in command (and "me" in the middle") and set off to besiege "Chur."

Had a battle on the way there, got a prompt to engage in a duel and won it; captured a mayor and ransomed him. Continued on to Chur, besieged it for a while, won. Gained 7 gold.

So that is like: 1 battle; 1 duel; 1 attack by sally forthing siege targets; and one siege completed successfully.

Then I get this:

No offense but whomever programmed this: this is annoying and stupid. Obviously what is going on here is that these "special" troops can only be satisfied by a very specific form of combat and that is ridiculous and annoying.

Small matter, but any time I come back to CK2, I ALWAYS encounter these types of poorly conceived design elements and bad balancing and then I look at how many new "DLC" have been released and I ask myself: are you guys REALLY serious about good gameplay or not?

LOL, "7 gold" for sacking a fortress in Chur!? I had to spend 25 to lure a stupid courtier to come live in my court to marry her to my Chancellor!

This is why your games almost ALWAYS need mods, because you guys seem incapable or unwilling to balance them yourselves.

Can any of you point out to me where it explains any of that in the tool-tips?
